Tusk was officially designated as Prime Minister on 9 November 2007 and took office on 16 November. His cabinet won a vote of confidence in the Sejm on 24 November 2007. He is currently the longest serving prime minister of the Third Republic of Poland. In October 2011, Tusk's Civic Platform won a plurality of seats in the Polish parliamentary election, meaning that Tusk became the first Prime Minister to be re-elected since the fall of communism in Poland.

Tusk began his public career as an activist in his home town of Gdansk, supporting Solidarity and organizing his fellow university students. With the exception of one four-year stretch, Tusk has served in the Third Republic parliament almost continuously since its first elections in 1991. He was Vice Marshal (deputy speaker) of the Senate from 1997 to 2001 and Vice Marshal of the Sejm from 2001 to 2005. He also served as Leader of the Opposition from 2003 to 2007.

''Migration is the big problem,'' Farage complained to Tusk. ''You promised your voters that young Poles would return home but you have become the newest Polish émigré,'' he said. ''EU voters want massive reforms, and you are not the man to provide them," he claimed. Farage, who leads the Eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) within the European Parliament, also quipped that Tusk had won ''the European jackpot'' by getting his current job. ''You used to earn 60,000 euro a year, now it's 300,000 euro,'' Farage said. ''I know why you were chosen, you're perfect,'' the UK politician added. ''You have outdated opinions on the subject of Europe.'' Tusk said later that Farage's outburst was an example of the differences in political culture within the EU. The former Polish prime minister was elected as European Council President on 30 August 2014, assuming the position on 1 December. (nh) - See more at:
